Peter Leighton

Pete lives and works in Cornwall from a secluded studio outside a small Cornish village. He primarily draws and paints using pen ink and pencil, and usually depicts the human form. His subjects are often dancers which becomes apparent with his fluid use of line, often giving a suggestion of the body rather than minute detail. He requests they move throughout the drawing sessions in order to get a sense of movement, sometimes using more than one model to really capture the beauty of the human form and the way it moves, and the way we interact with others, they are soft homages to the elegant and graceful movement of our bodies.
